Data[edit]
General
- Manufacturer: Technics
- Model: SH-P 1
- Type: PCM recording processor for PCM recording and playback in combination with a video recorder.
- Note: The SH-P 1 was introduced at the Tokyo Audio Fair in 1979 with a retail price. Was only built to order by hand. It is not known if customer units were ever manufactured.
- Year of manufacture: 1979
- Manufactured in: Japan
- Color: Black
- Power consumption: 100 W
- Dimensions: 450 x 205 x 480 mm (WxHxD)
- Weight: approx. 22 kg
- New price approx.: 800'000 Yen (Japan, 1979), corresponds to about 12'000 DM
Connections
- Number of inputs:
- Input sensitivity Line: 142 mV, 50 kOhm.
- Microphone: 66 dB, 600 Ohm
- Video input: 1 V p-p, 75 Ohm
- Number of outputs:
- Line: 250 mV, 560 ohms
- Output level: 1 V, 75 Ohm
Technical Data
- Frequency response: 2Hz - 20kHz, +0.5 -1.0dB
- Distortion factor: 0.03
- Signal to noise ratio: 85 dB
Special Features
- The PCM SH-P1 is a digital audio processor that can convert analog audio signals into digital bit sequences, which can then be recorded onto a standard video cassette using a VCR.
- Since the sound of non-HIFI recorders was relatively poor compared to other video formats due to the slow tape running speed, completely new sound worlds in digital stereo sound now became possible.
- Whereas up to now the sound quality could get worse or better depending on the quality of the tape, it remains the same when using the PCM SH-P1.
- Furthermore, any number of copies of a tape can be made without any loss of sound quality.
- The PCM SH-P1 has the same design as the Technics pre- and power amplifiers SU-A2 and SE-A1. It is stackable with these components.
- Any PCM-capable video recorder can be used as a recording device.
- Remarkably, the actually poor longitudinal sound of a video cassette is maintained consistently brilliant when using the PCM SH-P1.
- Every video recorder thus becomes a DAT recorder.
- The only disadvantage to contemporary digital audio processors are the missing digital inputs and outputs.
- The resolution of the coding is alternatively with 14 or 16 bit possible.
- The sound is recorded on the video track. Therefore the PCM SH-P1 does not serve as a supplement for the sound, but turns every video recorder into a DAT recorder for high quality audio recordings.
Comments[edit]
- The Technics SH-P1 was announced as another model in the "Century Series":
- Record player:
- Cartridges:
- Preamplifier:
- Power amplifier:
- Cassette Tape Deck:
- Tape machine:
- Speakers:
